The Intent to Hire Letter is a crucial pre-employment document used in the Dutch employment context to formalize preliminary employment discussions while maintaining flexibility before the final employment contract. It serves as an intermediate step between verbal job offers and formal employment agreements, typically used when companies want to express serious interest in a candidate while certain conditions (such as reference checks, work permits, or internal approvals) still need to be met. The document, while subject to Dutch employment law, is non-binding in nature and typically includes proposed terms of employment, conditions precedent, and next steps in the hiring process. It's particularly useful in situations involving senior hires, international candidates, or complex employment arrangements where detailed terms need to be documented before proceeding with formal employment contracts.
